Isaiah 19
1 Egypt kah olrhuh, BOEIPA tah khomai dongah yanghoep la ngol tih Egypt la pawk. A mikhmuh ah Egypt mueirhol rhoek te hlinghlawk tih Egypt rhoek kah a thinko tah a khui ah paci coeng.
A declaration about Egypt. See, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt; the idols of Egypt quake before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within themselves.
2 Egypt te Egypt neh ka et thil vetih hlang long he a manuca khaw, hlang pakhat loh a hui khaw, khopuei neh khopuei khaw, ram pakhat ram pakhat a vathoh thil ni.
“I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: A man will fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor; city will be against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Egypt kah a mueihla tah a khui ah hoep vetih a cilsuep ka hmaang sak ni. Te vaengah te mueirhol taengla, lung aka khueh, rhaitonghma neh hnam taengla a dawt uh bitni.
The spirit of Egypt will be weakened from within. I will destroy his advice, though they sought the advice of idols, dead men's spirits, mediums, and spiritualists.
4 Egypt te mangkhak boei rhoek kut ah ka det vetih amih te manghai aka tlung loh a ngol thil ni. Caempuei Yahovah Boeipa kah olphong coeng ni.
I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a harsh master, and a strong king will rule over them— this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.”
5 Tuipuei tui khaw kak ni. Tuiva khaw rhaeng vetih haang ni.
The waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will dry up and become empty.
6 Tuiva te khaw pam vetih bawn ni. Egypt capu sokko te kak vetih carhaek khaw tloih ni.
The rivers will become foul; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up; the reeds and flags will wither away.
7 Sokko neh sokko hmoi kah sulhing neh sokko mutue boeih khaw rhae ni. Cuhu vetih om voel mahpawh.
The reeds along the Nile, at the mouth of the Nile, and every sown field beside the Nile will become parched, will be driven away, and will be no more.
8 Tuihoi rhoek te huei uh vetih sokko ah vaih aka voei, lawk aka thing rhoek khaw boeih nguekcoi uh vetih tui soah tahah uh ni.
The fishermen will wail and mourn, and all who cast a hook into the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will grieve.
9 Hlamik a yawt neh aka thotat tih, hlabok aka tak rhoek khaw yak uh ni.
The workers in combed flax and those who weave white cloth will turn pale.
10 A rhungsut te tlawt vetih, kutphu la aka saii boeih khaw a hinglu ngat ni.
The cloth workers of Egypt will be crushed; all who work for hire will be grieved within themselves.
11 Zoan mangpa rhoek khaw ang uh tangkik coeng tih Pharaoh kah olrhoep hlangcueih rhoek kah cilsuep khaw a dom coeng. Pharaoh te metlamlae, “Kamah tah hlamat kah manghai koca khuiah khaw ka cueih ca,” na ti eh?
The princes of Zoan are completely foolish. The advice of the wisest advisors of Pharaoh has become senseless. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of wise men, a son of ancient kings?”
12 Nang kah hlangcueih rhoek te maelae me? Nang taengah ha puen uh laeh vetih caemgpuei Yahovah loh Egypt a caai thil te a ming uh laeh mako.
Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you and make known what Yahweh of hosts plans concerning Egypt.
13 Zoan mangpa rhoek te nga uh tih Noph mangpa rhoek khaw rhaithi uh thae. Egypt nim te amah koca rhoek te a cong cong ah kho a hmang uh coeng.
The princes of Zoan have become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have made Egypt go astray, who are the cornerstones of her tribes.
14 BOEIPA loh a khui ah lungbuei lukil hnaven neh a thoek tih kho a hmang uh coeng. Egypt loh amah khoboe cungkuem dongah khohmang bangla a lok neh rhui uh.
Yahweh has mixed a spirit of distortion into her midst, and they have led Egypt astray in all she does, like a drunk staggering in his vomit.
15 A lu neh a mai khaw, rhophoe neh canghlong khaw Egypt ham bitat aka saii thai te a om moenih.
There is nothing anyone can do for Egypt, whether head or tail, palm branch or reed.
16 Tekah khohnin ah tah Egypt khaw huta bangla om vetih lakueng ni. Te vaengah anih a thueng thil caempuei BOEIPA kah kut thueng hmai ah birhih pueng ni.
In that day, the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the upraised hand of Yahweh of hosts that he raises over them.
17 Judah khohmuen te Egypt taengah birhihkuihut la om ni. Anih a phoei carhui te khaw a taengah birhih ni. caempuei BOEIPA kah cilsuep loh anih a uen coeng.
The land of Judah will become a cause of staggering to Egypt. Whenever anyone reminds them of her, they will be afraid, because of the plan of Yahweh, that he is planning against them.
18 Tekah khohnin ah Egypt kho ah Kanaan ol la aka cal khopuei panga om ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA taengla ol aka caeng khopuei pakhat te tah koengloengnah khopuei a ti ni.
In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to Yahweh of hosts. One of these will be called The City of the Sun.
19 Tekah khohnin ah Yahovah kah hmueihtuk te Egypt khohmuen kah a laklung ah, a khorhi ah Yahovah kah kaam om ni.
In that day there will be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a stone pillar at the border to Yahweh.
20 Egypt khohmuen ah caempuei BOEIPA kah miknoek neh laipai la om ni. Aka nen kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA taengla a pang uh vaengah amih aka khang tih aka tungaep ham te a tueih pah vetih amih te a huul ni.
It will be as a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
21 BOEIPA loh Egypt te a tukkil vetih Egypt loh BOEIPA te a ming uh ni. Te khohnin ah hmueih neh khocang neh tho a thuenguh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng uh vetih a thuung uh ni.
Yahweh will become known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will acknowledge Yahweh on that day. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings, and will make vows to Yahweh and fulfill them.
22 BOEIPA loh Egypt te a yawk sak ni. A yawk sak tih a hoeih daengah ni BOEIPA taengla a mael uh eh. Amih a thangthui uh vaengah amih te a hoeih sak ni.
Yahweh will afflict Egypt, afflicting and healing. They will return to Yahweh; he will hear their prayer and will heal them.
23 Te khohnin ah Egypt lamloh Assyria duela longpuei om. Assyria te Egypt la, Egypt khaw Assyria la cet ni. Egypt neh Assyria loh tho a thueng ni.
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come to Egypt, and the Egyptian to Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24 Te khohnin ah Israel te a pathum la Egypt neh Assyria taengah diklai laklung kah yoethennah neh om van ni.
In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
25 Anih te caempuei BOEIPA loh a uem vetih, “Ka pilnam Egypt neh ka kut saii Assyria khaw, ka rho Israel khaw a yoethen,” a ti ni.
Yahweh of hosts will bless them and say, “Blessed be Egypt, my people; Assyria, the work of my hands; and Israel, my inheritance.”
